Jackal Bird follows the terraforming and political evolution of the colony world of Isurus, also called "New Foster", where the colonist’s children play a dangerous game designed to indoctrinate them into an adult life of revolution, political turmoil and cultural upheaval. Intrigue, conflict, and intricate maneuvering are the norms on a world where control means everything, and survival is the most dangerous game of all.
"As richly evocative and endlessly inventive as anything by Ursula K. LeGuin..."
